The insincere laughter when someone brought up running for the board was disgusting and shameful.
I love a good rage rant but what if anything can be done from a community-wide point of view to denounce this bullshit? Turn up en masse to the next board meeting with protest signs? Put weird flyers in mailboxes letting folks know what is go…

I’ve written multiple emails to the board expressing my concerns - no response.
1) Complain to the DoE OIG: https://oig.ed.gov/ - this is the federal agency with oversight power over D65. Don't bother with the ISBE, they suck and are probably working up another award for D65 right now.
2) Run for board or find people who want to run and send them to me, and I'll forward to some organizers.
3) Email schoolboard@ with your complaints and just keep it going - I think this is more effective than going to a meeting, to be honest.
I mean, ultimately, this is the issue. The “miraculous” financing and bussing savings were all lies and need to be investigated. The timeline you lay out in this post is just spot on.

I hope Angela Blaising and John Martin run again. Please. I’ll volunteer! And I bet Steve Hagerty would donate campaign funds.
Tom - when we email the OIG, do you think it’s legit to just link them to this post:

Happy to contribute $$ and organize a coffee at my house (do they still do that or am I showing my age?).
So am I! We need to organize. That’s a first step to turning this mess around.
